    reflect the life of the people of a certain country or region.

    choose and combine. Its steps are similar to the
    movement of a duck (itik in Filipino), as it walks with short,
    choppy steps and splashes water on its back while
    attracting its mate. It is used in folk dances in different
    parts of the Philippines.
    History of Itik - Itik

    According to folklore, itik-itik was created long ago by a


    young woman named Kanang, who was the best dancer
    in Surigao. During a baptismal reception, Kanang was
    asked to dance, and she improvised her dance steps to
    mimic the way of the duck walks, wade in water, and
    splash water on its back to attract a mate.
